I totally understand bemoaning windows 11 with it's ads, spyware, forced updates, non-consensual alterations to settings and installation of bloatware, but what I don't understand is how so many people are retroactively glazing windows 10 in the same breath. Much of what people hate about windows 11 today, windows 10 still had back when it released (even if only marginally less).

To a somewhat lesser extent, I feel the same about Windows 7. It really wasn't that good, actually (particularly when compared with OSX 10.4, 10.5). At least in my living memory, Windows has always been the corporate slop OS.

A lot of the online discourse around Windows 7 having "soul" I think are just low-effort reactionaries nostalgia-gooning to what they feel are the "good old days".

@adrint people liked 7 because vista was absolute garbage
